Set a Follow Up Due Date based on the current date plus a number from a custom field.

Todd Skelton

I'm trying to set a future follow up date based on the value in a numeric custom field added to the current date

Currently, I have my Edit field automation step set as follows in order to set a custom field called Follow Up Date: {{now().plus(issue.customfield_10402)}}

But this always returns "None".

Any ideas what I'm missing?

Hi @Todd Skelton

The current date / time function is {{now}} and not {{now()}} and your date increment is missing the units of measure, such as plusDays()

Please look here for examples of the syntax to increment a date / time value: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-date-and-time/#Date-plus-unit---

Kind regards,
Bill

Thanks. I can get that to work if I just hard code a number of days in the JQL, but If I want the number of days to come from a custom numeric field it doesn't update my Follow Up Date field.

{{now.plusBusinessDays(issue.customfield_10402)}} leads to no update.

{{now)).plusBusinessDays(issue.customfield_10402)}} just updates to today's date.

What is the type of your field, customfield_10402?

If it is text, please add asNumber to convert it inside of the function call:

{{now.plusBusinessDays(issue.customfield_10402.asNumber)}}

If it is something else, please post an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution. That my provide more context for what is happening.
